Will foursquare survive? I'm not sure I want it to.
Robert Scoble points out all the great things about these geo location tools (http://bit.ly/bO6Pgz,) which is why I started using them a few months. And this week, one of my favorite people, @zenaweist, posted through foursquare that she was staying just a few blocks from me in NYC. She lives in Kansas, I in LA, and we would have not had the chance to meet without foursqure. That's where it's brilliant. But it's becoming less rewarding as more and more people use these tools. I am overwhelmed with folks checking in, lists of places are not alphabetized, places are duplicated due to misspellings. Currently, the negatives are overtaking the positives. Once they work out these annoyances, these will be very vaulable services-- both to users and advertisers. And whether it's foursquare or gowalla or facebook, this type of activity will only become more valuable. So please, figure out how to make it work well, and soon.
Thanks

My Town, the foursquare killer? I'm beginning to hate them both.
With over 500,000 users, and 6 check ins per second, as opposed to foursquare's 1 check in per second, this come from behind geo location app may over take foursquare. After playing with it for a few days, it's basically Farmville for the phone, a most odious idea. At this point, with my inbox stuffed with emails from Twitter, Facebook and now foursquare and Gowalla, the last thing I need is another tool telling me where someone is.
